Overcoming all difficulties, the princess is reborn to become the empress

Su Yunxuan felt relieved that Pei Qianluo was there to help manage the affairs. After finishing her duties, she rushed to Fengqi Palace anxiously.

Inside Fengqi Palace, Xuan Huang Zizheng was giving acupuncture to her father with a heavy face.

Because all clothes would be taken off later, Su Yunxuan looked for a while and then retreated to the outer room to wait.

As soon as she sat down at the table in the outer room, Concubine Xu beside her began to report to her all the news she had heard over the past few days.

Concubine Xu talked incessantly.

Su Yunxuan drank two cups of tea in a row, and Concubine Xu didn't even stop for a moment.

When Su Yunxuan drank the third cup of tea handed to her by the palace maid and looked straight towards the inner room again, Concubine Xu finally realized her own noise.

She hesitated and took the teacup from Su Yunxuan's hand with both hands, then said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I like gossiping all the time, and when I'm nervous, I can't stop talking. Did I disturb you?"

She used honorifics, and her tone was filled with apology and caution. Su Yunxuan instantly realized that her behavior seemed to have caused Concubine Xu to misunderstand her, so she quickly turned around and said to Concubine Xu sincerely, "No. You are the elder, and you don't need to use honorifics with me."

"Oh..." Concubine Xu smiled, and after a moment she seemed to have thought of something, and asked, "Really?"

"Absolutely not. Listening to you talk has alleviated some of my worries and impatience." Su Yunxuan comforted.

"That's good." Concubine Xu said excitedly, and finally put down the teacup that she had been stroking in her palms.

When the palace maid saw her pick up another teacup as if to pour tea, she hurried over to help.

Concubine Xu waved her hand, indicating that she did not need the help of the palace maid, and said to herself while pouring tea: "I have lived in the palace for two years in two lifetimes, and I am still not used to the feeling of being served by others..."

Hearing her say "two lives", Su Yunxuan's heart skipped a beat. She excitedly grabbed Concubine Xu's wrist and asked anxiously, "What did you say? Two lives? You've lived two lives, too?"

Staring at the tea spilled on the table, Concubine Xu instinctively nodded and said "Yes".

Meeting Su Yunxuan's gaze, Concubine Xu immediately reacted and shook her head vigorously, "No, I haven't lived two lives..."

"You just said it and nodded." Su Yunxuan interrupted, pinched Concubine Xu's arms, and forced Concubine Xu, who turned her head to avoid her sight, to look at her.

Concubine Xu thought of her promise to Su Changfeng and wanted to escape instantly. She half stood up and tried to push Su Yunxuan away.

Su Yunxuan increased her intensity, staring straight into Concubine Xu's eyes and asking, "Why are you lying? What are you hiding? Who are you?"

Concubine Xu couldn't break free, and because she was concerned about Su Yunxuan's identity as the empress, she didn't dare to use brute force to push.

After being pushed back to sit by Su Yunxuan, she was so anxious that she covered her eyes with both hands and shook her head wildly, "I promised him that I wouldn't tell you. He said he couldn't tell you. He couldn't let you know."

"Who is he? Why can't he tell me anything?" Su Yunxuan became even more anxious. She simply stood up and tried to pull away Concubine Xu's hand that was covering her eyes.

As soon as she let go of Concubine Xu's arm, Concubine Xu immediately jumped up and ran out.

Su Yunxuan was knocked back and staggered two steps. Fortunately, the palace maid next to her reacted quickly and supported her so that she did not fall to the ground.

Sighing in her heart at how powerful Concubine Xu was, Su Yunxuan stood firm and then ran out, wanting to catch up.

Just at this moment, Bai Shu came out from the inner room and called her.

Su Yunxuan had no choice but to postpone her search for Concubine Xu to find out the truth.

After returning to the inner room and seeing that her father was still unconscious, Su Yunxuan walked over to Xuan Huangzi who was sitting on a chair and sat down. She thanked him and asked many questions about her father's condition, the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother's book.

Xuan Huangzi heard her question but did not answer immediately.

He glanced at the several palace maids in the room, and Bai Shu understood and immediately sent them all out.

Xuan Huangzi then began to tell Su Yunxuan everything he knew and guessed.

The first thing Su Yunxuan was most concerned about was: Is her father okay? When will he wake up?

Xuan Huangzi and Bai Shu answered in unison that her father's life was no longer in danger, but he might lose all his memories after waking up, and his mental state would degenerate to that of a ten-year-old child.

Su Yunxuan was shocked and heartbroken.

Xuan Huangzi comforted her, saying that being able to save his life was the best outcome his father could have, and this best outcome was obtained by the Queen Mother at the cost of her own life.

Su Yunxuan was puzzled.

Xuan Huangzi handed the booklet to Su Yunxuan and introduced it to her:

This booklet was once the most precious treasure of his school.

The book previously only recorded the art of rejuvenation, but now it also included the art of prolonging life.

Let’s talk about the art of rejuvenation first.

It can only be implemented successfully if the other party agrees to let you borrow her young body and is willing to let you occupy and control her body.

Once the other party's sincere consent is obtained, the person using the rejuvenation technique can transfer his soul and mind into the other party's body, which is similar to the legendary sorcery of possession.

Unlike possession of another's body, the person performing this technique can choose whether to completely seal off the facial features and thoughts of the person whose body is being occupied.

There are risks and costs whether it is closed or not.

If the five senses and thoughts of the person being occupied are not completely blocked, that person will be able to experience everything the person occupying his body sees and feels, which is equivalent to two people using the same body to experience the same thing at the same time.

Although we experience the same things, people’s thoughts are different.

Once these two people have different thoughts, the commands they issue to their bodies will be different, and it will seem like they are crazy to outsiders.

If one wants to completely seal the five senses and thoughts of the invaded person, one must drink the blood of the invaded person's closest relatives. And the more the closest relatives are cared for, the better the effect will be.

In this world, who cares about whom the most?

That can only be how a mother feels about her child after ten months of pregnancy.

After the five senses and thoughts of the person whose body is occupied are blocked, the more stable the person's emotions are, the less blood he needs to drink; on the contrary, the greater the emotional fluctuations, the more blood he needs to drink.

If the technique of rejuvenation is used, the person occupying someone else's body will lose the will to live, and the occupied person's facial features and thoughts will be restored, and the two people will become one again.

However, this time, one body could no longer hold two owners at the same time. When one of the two occupied the body, the other would be temporarily sealed off, unaware of what the other person was doing or thinking while occupying the body.

The more times the mind of the invaded person is activated, the more blood the invader must consume from the invaded person's relatives in order to get his body back.

In order to prevent their loved ones from being in danger, some people whose bodies have been taken over will voluntarily give up the fight and choose to be locked up.

Of course, there are also some selfish people who choose to watch their loved ones being drained of blood one by one and fight to the death with the caster for their bodies.

The art of rejuvenation is difficult to find willing people to practice, and due to the reasons mentioned above, it has caused a lot of killings and abuses. It was once a banned book in the sect and was kept by successive leaders of the sect.

Xuan Huangzi's master Yun Lianzi is the sect's leader.

And this Yun Lianzi was none other than the eldest disciple of National Master Feng Lan, and the favorite student of Su Changfeng's grandfather and Bai Muchuan's father.
